Designed for a comfortable resistance workout, the Water Gear Wrist Weights are covered with soft Lycra fabric and conform to the wrist with continued use.

Each set of weights is color-coded by size and features an adjustable Velcro closure.

The All Pro Thigh-a-Ciser Weights are designed to fit comfortably around the thigh to give your upper leg a deep, muscle building workout.

What Are Swimming Weights?

Water weights for the pool are designed to defy water's buoyancy, meaning you'll have to work against their gravitational pull. Whether you're water-jogging, leg-lifting, or bicep-curling, swimming weights create omnidirectional drag that helps develop muscle tone and improve stamina simultaneously.

Most weights for swimming utilize a Velcro or buckle clasp for quick on-and-off. Their no-fuss designs fasten to the body rather than requiring you to hold them, making them ideal for arthritis patients who lack gripping power. Swimming weights are often constructed from neoprene to withstand the rigors of aquatic workouts and resist chlorine's destructive force. Plus, the material minimizes water retention and holds tight to the body to prevent chaffing.

When you're done, be sure to rinse your weights in fresh water and allow them to dry fully before storing them. You'll also want to avoid leaving your weights in the sun to reduce bleaching and fabric breakdown. Due to their plastic bladders and other heat-sensitive components, you should never machine wash or dry your weights.

Tip: Always place your swimming weights gently on the deck. Tossing them time after time may damage the bladder and cause weight material (e.g., metal shavings) to spill out.

Weights For Swimming, Water Aerobics, and Hydrotherapy

Need to beef up? Swimming with wrist, thigh, or ankle weights assists in strengthening the muscles necessary for stroke performance. But be careful not to wear your swim weights too often because they promote poor body alignment which reduces stroke efficiency.

Weights for aquatic rehab patients can be used in myriad ways: walking, water jogging, leg lifts, jumping jacks, and more. But, be sure to check in with your doctor or physical therapist before adding weight to your routine.

Static vs. Adjustable Weights

Uniquely-designed All Pro weights are incrementally adjustable, allowing you to perfectly tailor them to your evolving needs. Simply add 5oz "weight bullets" as you gain strength, or remove bullets while you rehab an injury.

Non-adjustable designs − such as Water Gear weights − are less versatile, but more economical.

Before adding water weights to your exercise routine, check with your doctor or physical therapist to make sure you won't be doing any damage.
